"I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech"

- Ted Lieu

#ContextMatters
It's actually kinda crazy how easy it is to take things out of context and present them in bad faith while also cutting off the beginning and end of what was said.

"...impeach AG Rosenstein. BRING IT ON..." - Ted Lieu
"...kill not only the patient who was exposed to a tainted duodenoscope but also family members, friends and hospital staff who interacted with the patient." - Ted Lieu

I hope you all realize Im stripping out context as a joke and of course Ted didnt imply what this sounds like
"hey let's hurt Special Olympics." - Ted Lieu, Facebook March 2019

He actually wrote that himself, of course he had "No one ever said" just before it but it is absolutely true that he said the first quote

Twitter is collapsing under the weight of its own rules.

People get banned for calling out hate, they get banned for reporting on tragedy. Because yes, both ARE against Twitter's rules now.

Twitter just chooses to let some people slide creating haves and have nots
If you can't say words or show certain symbols then you CANT report on them either.

This means smaller accounts get locked immediately and have to beg twitter to release them.
But what the fuck do I know? I've only been warning about this for years now

Advice on being a successful youtuber.

Be a crazy person who doesn't sleep, works 16 hour days, takes no days off.

I'm making around 7 videos per day. I have taken no days off in over 2 years.

If you can handle that, welcome to Youtube success
My Two Primary Channels, self hosted content, Just hit 32.2M views in the last thirty days.

25.7M come from my commentary channel where I produce 5 videos per day
We just relaunched Subverse with M-Th content and are at 83k subs in just over a month

Journalism has been dead for a long time. We now have random people who don't understand anything trying to write about complex subjects.

The result?

"I dont understand this therefore its worthless"
What's hilarious is how even when BTC fell to 4k the people who understood it and made sensible investments saw a massive gain.

Buying in at 20k was a bad idea. I bought in (back in) around 2k.

BTC is tech, it makes sense. Do some journalism for once
Like any investment some people made bad ones.

Some coins were worthless.

BTC is backed by the energy required to make it and like all currencies, confidence.

If there is confidence there is demand, creation requires electricity which costs money.

Good morning. We are in a packed (busiest I’ve seen it) court 26 for the recusal hearing. The Post Office wants the judge removed from Bates v Post Office litigation. There was a CWU demo outside court. It’s all going off. Follow this thread for live tweets.

Okey-dokey. We've got a thread today that isn't necessarily long, but it is heavy, so shall we get to it?

Again, parental figure/grandparent death content warning here. This is a big one, and if you have to peace and mute this hashtag, we're cool. #LainaReadsAnne
#LainaReadsAnne Montgomery lost her grandfather shortly before writing Anne of Green Gables. Though it seems they may not have been very affectionate people, they raised her and it does feel as though a lot of this chapter perhaps reflects her own grief.
#LainaReadsAnne Either that or she just has a particular talent for making you feel sad as hell.

1. Love never gives up; love cares more for others than for self, Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have, Love doesn’t strut, Love doesn’t have a swelled head. (1Cor.13:4 MSG). #Love
2. It never ends well with selfishness when in a relationship with other people; the focus is on us and what we can get. Love and selfishness can never go together. (Phil. 2:3-4) #Love
3. In looking out for the interests of others, it is important to note that people are unique and have different needs which must be taken into consideration. #Love

The excellent @nickmon1112 (follow & support him!) is reviewing each quote in the “Gavin McInnes is violent” supercut & providing context. Definitely worth your attention!
Proud Boys & others active in right wing street politics who know me: you know I’ve droned on & on about our language & our disposition when out on the street, especially as they relate to two things:

- policing our movement
- optics
Policing our movement

A movement is defined by its shared values & goals AND by the taboos formed & maintained by the majority of its participants.

There is a reason I’ve endlessly called for an emphasis on RELUCTANT but determined self-defense.

We do not want to embolden

This is a small thread about procrastination and the use of social media. (1/n)
But first, I want to share a very cute animation by John Kelly, that I saw in SIGGRAPH animation festival in 2005. (2/n)

Everybody seems to agree that social media is a major distraction and the cause of procrastination, for whatever a person wants to do. But why is this so, any more than talking to people in the real world? (3/n)
